A few weeks ago I was working in the yard when I heard a cat, I usually ignore them, however this time I had to acknowledge it. Our 2 cats we had both died within 2 years of each other and we have been cat free for nearly 2 years. It's been nice, no litter box, saving $ on cat feed (science diet isn't cheap), not to mention the dreaded furball hacking.
Anyway, this small, very malnourished, skin and bones kitten approached me, walked right up to Pirate our dog and rubbed all over him purring away. She was so sweet, and so friendly. I couldn't turn her away and Mark bought her some Tuna (its all we had for a cat). Yes, Mark has a soft spot for kittys - but I didn't tell you that. We decided that if she was still here after a week of camping we would keep her. My neighbour watched out for her and gave some kitten food Mark bought. After 5 days of camping we came home to a kitten who was starting to put some weight on and we opened the door and in she came! We got her spayed, she will be declawed soon and we are going to try to toilet train her. Yes, you heard correctly, no more litter box, the cost of litter has gone way high. She has been quite fun!

Kim, you always have a way of attracting animals. I don't know if that is good or bad. J/k! Good for you guys for getting a new pet. Cats are usually easier to train than puppies, right. Good luck with the toilet training!
Oh she is cute. What's up with the six toes? Is that why you called her gypsy? Good luck with toilet training, it took my kids forever!! J/k
she has extra toe on her front dewclaws which means extra claw to. She will be declawed soon. We called her gypsy because it sounded cute. We tried all kinds of other names and this one suited her. She is a lot fun.
